Chapter 361: Chapter 0361: Get Rid of Him

Tang Haowan seemed to have noticed his puzzlement, and with a slight smile, he praised Chu Ge profusely, "Shen Wei Qian, are you curious as to why I look younger than you do?"

Shen Wei Qian, although reluctant to admit it, knew it was a stark truth.

He noticed this as soon as he entered the room, feeling that Tang Haowan didn’t seem worn by the years at all, full of vigor, and certainly not like someone who had just been through a life-and-death experience.

With a slight smile, Tang Haowan praised Chu Ge again, "Being able to come back from the Ghost Gate is all thanks to Mr. Chu."

"Oh?" Shen Wei Qian was surprised. He had learned about Chu Ge from his grandson Shen Congwen, and seeing him in person today, he felt this man was truly extraordinary.

He just didn’t know that Mr. Chu was also a renowned doctor.

Chu Ge was staring quietly at the wine glass in front of him, lost in thought, when suddenly, he seemed to sense two intense gazes being cast his way.

Chu Ge slowly looked up, his eyes carrying a hint of confusion, and asked somewhat puzzledly, "Gentlemen, what’s the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Tang Haowan laughed heartily and said, "Here’s the thing, Mr. Chu, I just mentioned your medical skill to Shen Wei Qian, so now he has something he wishes to ask for your help with."

Shen Wei Qian was stunned; he hadn’t said that at all, right?

Even more shocking to him was the fact that although he hadn’t said it, he was indeed thinking it. Could this old guy actually read his mind?

Tang Haowan looked at him proudly, his tone slightly mocking, "Don’t you know the principle that knowing the enemy and knowing yourself, you can fight a hundred battles without danger? Now I can even tell what kind of ’wind’ you’ll break when you lift your ’earth’!!"

Shen Wei Qian was speechless, this old rascal!

Shen Wei Qian gave Tang Haowan a glare, then turned somewhat awkwardly to speak to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, I know it’s quite presumptuous to abruptly seek your assistance, but this sickness really is quite special, so I..."

Chu Ge gently nodded and, recalling what Shen Congwen had once said to him, he slightly curled his lips and spoke lightly, "I know what Mr. Shen wishes to say. Are you referring to the noble lady’s matter, right?"

Shen Wei Qian was taken aback and then glanced at Tang Haowan, who shook his head somewhat innocently. Tang Haowan only knew that Shen Wei Qian’s wife had been lying in bed for many years, with doctors unable to identify any symptoms, yet Lady Shen remained in a coma – asleep for many years.

"Mr. Chu is aware? Then do you have a way?"

Shen Wei Qian wasn’t really holding much hope; he had asked for Chu Ge’s help just because over the years he had sought help from too many doctors, and it had become a habit to ask whenever he encountered a doctor, especially a renowned one.

"I’ve heard a bit from Shen Congwen, but I need to see the noble lady first before I can make any judgments."

Chu Ge said, then seemed to think of something and turned to ask Tang Haowan, "The Doctor Liu from the hospital mentioned that a renowned Doctor Zhang would be coming. Has that doctor arrived?"

Tang Haowan shook his head, "He’ll arrive this afternoon."

Chu Ge nodded thoughtfully; if he wasn’t mistaken, the supposedly most authoritative Doctor Zhang was actually Zhang Chenggong.

The dinner at Zuixian Inn became the talk of the entertainment headlines after the two old masters returned to their respective homes.

At the Xiao Family residence, Honda Sakura watched the television, her face seething with anger. Her hands were clenched so tightly on her knees that her fingernails dug into her flesh—though she felt no pain, surrounded as she was by overwhelming hatred.

Thirty years! She had schemed for thirty years for this conspiracy, and just as she was on the brink of success, it had been foiled by some brat surnamed Chu!

Who on earth was this Chu?

Xiao Jingsheng descended from the second floor to find his mother sitting on the sofa, her furious gaze tearing into the television as if she wished to rip it to shreds.

"Mom." Xiao Jingsheng sighed softly to himself before approaching and sitting beside her. "What’s so interesting about these news?"

With a single glance at the screen, Xiao Jingsheng saw the headlines.

The Tang Family and Shen Family resolve their differences, ready to start cooperation!

Xiao Jingsheng knew his mother had big plans, but powerless as he was, he could only stand by and watch.

"What’s going on?"

Xiao Jingsheng asked, puzzled.

Honda Sakura replied through gritted teeth: "What else? It’s ruined!"

Xiao Jingsheng was stunned. The people his mother had sent—though mostly street thugs—included three of the most promising ninjas from the Japan Hawk Faction Organization. They were tasked only with dealing with two defenseless old men. Even if those elders had bodyguards, they were no match for the three ninjas.

How could this have happened...

Honda Sakura slammed her fist on the table in anger. "It’s that Chu! That damned Chu! He is an Ancient Martial Scholar! When I first met him, I felt he looked familiar but couldn’t place him at the time. Now that I think about it, he bears some resemblance to the mysterious expert who appeared at the Public Sea Banquet!"

Xiao Jingsheng was shocked, and his dark eyes flickered with confusion. He had heard bits and pieces about the last Public Sea Banquet and knew the most about the mysterious expert who had appeared aboard the ship.

"Are you saying that mysterious expert is Chu Ge?" Xiao Jingsheng found it hard to believe. That Chu Ge looked somewhat slender, especially in his shabby clothes—a complete nobody. How could he possibly be a peerless master!

Honda Sakura clenched her jaw and enunciated each word: "This is what those thugs said. They saw with their own eyes Chu Ge kill those three ninjas with a single move!"

Xiao Jingsheng was even more shocked. Before those three ninjas arrived, they had been scrutinized by his mother and had passed numerous tests she had arranged before being given the assassination task, yet they had been utterly defeated.

This Chu Ge was no ordinary person.

Xiao Jingsheng remembered the way Tang Xin looked at Chu Ge—that was clearly the way a woman looks at a man, full of emotions that are hard to restrain.

A feeling of unwillingness inexplicably stirred within him.

Apart from not knowing martial arts, in what way was he, Xiao Jingsheng, inferior to Chu Ge? It was an era of law and order; was brute force like that of Chu Ge’s still the way to live, wrapped up in a life of fighting and killing?

With these thoughts in mind, Xiao Jingsheng clenched his hand that hung by his side. Although he was self-aware, he could never allow himself to lose to a poor nobody!

"Mother, what do you plan to do?" Xiao Jingsheng knew that his mother was the vengeful type, and now that Chu Ge had disrupted their plan, she would surely find every possible way to eliminate Chu Ge!
